...Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop...

...aware of the 'story' that a formula tells. Once you are aware of an equation's history, motivations, and limitations, it becomes much easier to master it. If understanding at this level is achieved, the need to memorize an arbitrary set of formulas, each with their own arbitrary amount of symbols, is greatly reduced. In my spare time, I like to review concepts and problems from Physics and math classes I took during my undergraduate (have...

...learn only the specific problems assigned. This can result in the confusion when the student is confronted with a new problem. For this reason, I first ensure that the student grasps the basic concepts, and I then illustrate the concepts with a variety of examples.
